Call for Papers: Joint Technical Symposium

The Joint Technical Symposium (JTS) is an international scientific and technical event dealing with matters of particular importance to audiovisual archives and archivists. Organized every few years since 1983 by the member organizations now forming the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual Archiving Associations (CCAAA), it provides an opportunity for colleagues around the world and those interested in the field to meet and share information about the preservation of original image and sound materials. The latest JTS took place in Singapore in March 2016.

The Joint Technical Symposium provides an opportunity for audiovisual archiving experts from different backgrounds to come together, share new and upcoming technical advances in our field, and take positions that go beyond the boundaries of specific formats or domains. It is an occasion to inform each other about what’s going on in our field and seek cross-fertilization. At a time when the digital world is converging, we as members of CCAAA organizations have the opportunity to discuss technical issues and agree on how technologies best position us for the future of our field.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The Program Committee invites session proposals related to the 2019 theme “PRESERVE THE LEGACY. CELEBRATE THE FUTURE.” Proposals are welcome from all areas of archival practice, digital initiatives and research in our fields. Proposals should have a technology focus for either born-digital collections, digitised collections or collections still to be digitised. We suggest paper proposals to address one or more of the following topics:

Open source and other development models for sustainable AV archive tooling

The deadline for proposals has been extended until 22 February 2019. The programme committee intends to send authors feedback by 11 March 2019. Please submit your proposal via this form.
